Ron Paul: Cut Taxes. Cut Taxes Now

I can only say that Congress as a whole has to be corrupt beyond anything we can imagine. I don't believe, short of getting every member of the House and Senate out of Office as soon as their terms are up, will we the people have the slightest chance of recovering.

Yes it is going to take tremendous sacrifice on America's part, but I for one would be willing to pay more taxes to get us out of this bind if we could absolutely not spend another dime and if that means doing away with the IRS and downsizing government in the process, then so be it.

I believe in a national sales tax, so thousands of CPAs would be out of business as well. And of course they could be retrained for other types of work. Maybe a body of them could work on a national budget, because we sure don't have anyone doing that now. Were spending more than our income. There should be some type of law that says we cannot spend more than the money available, except in times of emergencies.

We have to ask ourselves and Congress; what do you think you’re doing? Common sense dictates you can't spend your way to savings. Now that may seem too simplistic, but no one as far as I have been able to tell has enough leadership to go against the corruption. Maybe it is either because they are corrupt themselves or are afraid if they don't, something may happen to them.

I rather think we are dealing with people that are not too bright, or are as clever as a fox. Probably the latter. The moral fiber has slipped away and the American people's hands are all but tied.

Reporting and digging for facts is a thing of the past. So much for our News Reporters. Much of it has to do with the banking industry.

"Let me issue and control a nation's money, and I care not who writes its laws" ---Mayer Amschel Rothschild. Is this not what has happened? Thomas Jefferson was adamantly opposed to the idea of a privately owned federal bank and said “I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of money are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies".

Henry Ford once said "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning". I’m not so sure we are far from it.

And, as far as immigration goes, we have allowed corruption there as well. We sent jobs overseas for cheaper wages. We have allowed Illegal Aliens into the country for cheaper wages. So what does that say about big business and big Government?

No wonder the American populace is ready to explode. We have to take responsibility ourselves. After all we elected these misfits to lead our country. So what does that say about us as well? Not enough people to remove the cancer which has spread to all areas of the body.
